My Name is Jaryd Vartanian and I am 19 years old. I am originally from Worcester Massachusetts but I now live in sunny Florida. I am an avid MMA fan. I also train at Champions MMA in Bradenton FL. My background is in ITF Tae Kwon Do in which I hold a Black/White Belt. I then moved on to Capoeira for a short time and then Aikido. I have now settled at champions where I can mix it up and train with some awesome experienced guys. I should have my first amateur fight in April 2009 and I'm training hard for that. I'm not sure where this fight thing will take me but wherever it goes, i just enjoy doing it. I may post some stuff time to time about something I feel strongly about but I am not an authority on anything.
